Free Energy Another Inconvenient Truth

There have been numerous free energy claims over the years.^[1] Many, such as those implying perpetual motion or those based on extracting zero point energy, are impossible according to accepted physical laws.^[2] Others, such as cold fusion, while not fundamentally impossible, are not accepted as established by the scientific community. Conspiracy advocates therefore claim that the scientific community has controlled and suppressed research into alternative avenues of energy production via the institutions of peer review.^[3]

In addition, some claim that devices capable of extracting significant and usable power from pre-existing energy reservoirs for little or no cost exist but are being suppressed^[4][5][6][7] by governments and special interest groups (such as the fossil fuel and nuclear industry),^[8] and that suppression has been going on for some time.^[9] According to energy suppression conspiracy advocates, the main motive behind this is the preservation of the economic status quo and sustained increase of fuel prices. Variations on the energy suppression conspiracy state that free energy cannot be allowed in a capitalist system because the economic system would break down if it were introduced.

Proponents of this conspiracy theory also claim that certain renewable technologies (such as solar cells^[10] and biofuels) and other efficient technologies (as electric vehicles) are being suppressed^[11] or weakened by governments^[12] and special interest groups.^[13]

Free energy research is typically considered to be pseudo-scientific or unrealistic by the scientific community.^{[citation needed]} Conspiracy theorists allege that this is a deliberate attempt by conspirators to suppress this research. There are various other factors which can prevent funding of some alternative energy development, such as "time and information" and capital costs.^[14] Groups behind "the conspiracy" have been said to include various national governments, international automakers, and the petroleum industry. An article in Nexus magazine claims

The spread of working free-energy technologies has been prevented by wealthy elite governments, deluded inventors and con men, as well as a non-demanding public.^[15
